Calling Smart Friends

[clutchoff]

Hello all, I need my smart friends. I am doing an independent novel project with my 10th grade World Lit students and I would like a few suggestions. I have an extensive list of authors for the kids to choose from but I would like to add to it. I think the list was made six years ago and I know there are many more brilliant authors from around

I would love to teach Chabon but he's an American author. It's the 10th grade World Lit quest class.

The Joke by Milan Kundera--read it in my college World Lit class so I can't remember if it's inappropriate or not. I went to St. Thomas so their "strict ethical code" for adults probably falls right around Central's for kids.

Waiting for the Barbarians by J.M. Coetzee, although there may be some sex in there.

I'll keep thinking, though!
